sound where he owns a cottage and 190 acres of land on one of my painting trips about 25 years ago i found this place he recalled he saw the for sale sign and contacted the real estate agent who told him the price was 9000 i wasnt really serious about buying but because they want ed to sell they brought the price down even further and i got it for a steal trees are something of a pas- sion for otto who planted 35000 on his parry sound property on occasion his enthusiasm has been known to backfire on him however as the trees grow and sometimes block out a view that particu larly appeals to him i built a log house which i finished five years ago and which i often utilize many of my friends who enjoy the out doors love this place and it only takes three hours to get there otto did less painting than usual this summer because he was involved in building a garage for his ballantrae home with the help of his grandson carl the summer went by and i didnt paint that much so i was in trouble when i announced my show he said with a wry smile at the same time i have por traits to paint and i had many commitments to teach in octo ber and november the last place i taught was the markham group of artists about three weeks ago nevertheless otto has a fine body of work to exhibit some of it recent some going back 40 years his home nestled among his beloved trees pro vides the
